Assistance with Fitting 20x10.5" Giovanna wheels

[FXStorm]

Alright guys, I need to know if 20x10.5 wheel will fit in the front of the FX50? I've already read about other members runnings 22x10.5. I'm planning on running Blizzak v2 at 285/50/20 which I'm aware is a 31" tire. Another member is running that tire size on his First gen with no rubbing issues. I can't seem to find offset for the wheels Giovanna Haleb. I'm gonna try to email some vendors and see what I can find. Thanks guys

A 20" wheel will clear the brakes and a 10.5" wheel clears your suspension so you should be fine. Just make sure that the offset and face design clears your caliper. I run FX50 brakes up front and my 20x10.5" wheels clear but I had to use a spacer or it hit the caliper.

I just googled it and the offset is clearly listed on Giovanna's website. +45 for the 20x10.5" in 5x114.3. That may not clear your caliper depending on how concave the face is. They advertise it as a concave wheel.

Hey Thanks for the input, I'm really wanting to go with the wider setup as currently I have 22x9 and would like a better stance on these. I emailed a few online vendors trying to get more info but haven't got a reply back yet. I've noticed however on eBay, & other sites vendors list them as staggered sets. Do you think the 20x9 would clear the front caliper? Then just run 10.5" in the rear. I'm sorry for my lack of wheel knowledge I've been googling it believe me! Thanks again

9" might clear in the same offset since the face will be less concave. Downside is it won't look nearly as nice as a 10.5" - the face won't be concave and it will look sunken in if offsets are same. They sell them staggered because a lot of cars can't run 10.5" in front. The FX will fit it just fine. I'd suggest getting 10.5" all around and worst case, you have to run a small spacer.

Awesome! Thanks for the confidence, it's done. Are you running hub eccentric spacers up front? No issues with vibration using these I hope.

Ok so I'm in the same boat as you, looks like I'm going to have to run a 15-20mm front spacer. Do you think that's too excessive and wide? I'm trying to avoid any full turning issues, overall this struggle is fun tho. Here's some pics of fitment, I've lined it up so the caliper and spindle are clearing. The rear seems to be fine. I'm just contemplating wether or not to get 9" up front or just use a 20mm spacer. Spacer is my cheaper route as I wouldn't have to pay a restock fee ect on the exchange. I'm attaching medium photos, greatly Appreciate your feedback thanks!

If the offset is +45 then a 20mm spacer should be fine unless you are slammed. I had to run a 5mm spacer with +35 wheels to get clearance initially.

Right now I run +5 offset in front with a 10.5" wheel which is about an inch past where you will be. But that required some work and camber. If you're stock height or slightly lowered I don't think an effective offset of +25 (with spacer) is going to cause issues. There won't be any problems with full lock, even I can do that without rubbing. Your tire may poke out a little bit, but hard to tell based on your picture since the wheel will camber in once it's on the ground.
